Some THE Trustees have decided on con- siderable decoration of the school grounds, by way of levelling, terracing emu, and Mr. Thus. Daniels is engaged on the work. The action is commend- able, and a little outlay year by year will add attractiveness to what child- ren tun often regard as the town prison. The school here has an ex- cellent property. and notwithstanding the fact that considerable money has already been spent on it, there’s room for the spending of a lot more. In a few years we predict, the grounds will he a credit. ELSEWHERE appears an account of the death of Mr. Harry Boulden, of Brockville, son of Mr. Jas. Boulden, of Elmwood, and nephew of Mrs. A.

The crops he say’s, 100k well all the way from ‘Vin- nipeg to Brandon and Souris, and west to Arcola a distance of about 325 miles. On his return he saw oats and barley being harvested at Portage Plains and appearances were that harvest in gen- eral would he on very shortly perhaps this week. From the general outlook and the magnificent showing of wheat Lrop Charlie saw visions of a whole. host of independent western farmers 1hould nothing happen this year ’3‘ yield. Regarding prices, he tells us that buyers me offering 85c. for No. 1 Northern and 80c. No.2 Northern and‘ prospects seemed so good that the dollar mark may yet be reached.

The West, he thinks is the place to do business but he would not like to live there. - THE following item is copied from the Regina Leader:â€"“A quiet but very pretty wedding took place in Kildonan, Mam, last Wednesday af- ternoon, when Mr. A. F. Meredith, of the “Glasgow House,” was united in marriage to Miss Pearl McAlmon, of Nelson, B. C. The wedding took place at the picturesque home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. R. B. Matheson, only the near relations of the contracting par- ties heing present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Matheson of the Presbyterian church at Kildonan. The happy couple left on the evening train for \Vinnipeg, thence to this city where they have taken up their resi- dence. The groom is well known in this city, l);-.ing one of the members of the Capital Lacrosse team.” Goon progress is now being made on the cement sidewalk the contractor having brought in some Italian labor- ers from Toronto to make up for the scarcity of help here at present. Mr. Archie Davidson is overseeing the work, and so far everything has the appearance of being well done. The East side of Bruce Street from George Street to a point south of Saddler is being put down. At the Lambton Street Corner a little engineering skill is required to cover over the fire tadk so as to make a strong bed for the walk. It is the intention to bridge it over with iron girders and then fill with cement. THE funeral of the late Margaret Hewitt who died on Sunday Aug. 14th was delayed till Wednesday to wait the arrival of her brothers, Wm. J. and Richard Hewitt and wife of Omaha Nebraska. Rev. Mr. Farqu- harson officiated at the services at 4 p. m. Miss Hewitt was dearly loved by all who knew her, and her untimely death is sadly lamented. WORK is gowing on slowly on street improvement between the Middaugh House and Lambton .Street bridge. The retaining wall on the North side is now completed, and the filling made ready for the sidewalk. The wall on the South side is under construction, but before the work is fully completed there is yet necessary a considerable outlay. CHANGES are being made in the ce- ment mill, of which more may be said later on. At present there’s a great deal of dissatisfaction in the matter as the mill was doing good work.

Keelers’ “'9. wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and neighbors for their kindness during the illness and death of our beloved daughter and sister. ‘ Last Sunday morning the Rev. Wray R. Smith, the new pastor of the Meth- odist church, delivered a very excel- lent sermon from Psa. 63: 3: “Be- cause Thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.” The sermon was well arranged and re- plete with thought, the speaker par- ticularly emphasizing the words “ loy- ing kindness. ” Mr. Smith neithe1 in- clines to self-assertion or controversy, and deals with his subject solely on its {merits without the least attempt at what 18 commonly called “sensational- ‘ ism” so prevalent in pulpit work at the present time. Religious literary cul~ ture is Mr. Smith’s characteristic, and his language. while perfectly simple blossoms into natural rhetoric out of a copious bed of elevated ideas. His passages are ornate and sometimes fanciful. He never lacks words, and so far as I have listened to him, used every word with intricate aptnes's. He rarely consents to pointa moral by an anecdote, he prefers nature’s illus- trations. The general effect of his preaching is to convince and to build up, rather than to tear down. After mastering the inward details of his subject, without the least attempt to pose from a sensational standpoint, the speaker with cultured sedateness hands out his decision. . His whole ad- dress is entirely free and unaffected. and he does not find it necessary to employ manuscript in sermonizing. Ripe scholarship and culture distin- guish his sermons, and as a result he does not have to appeal to the lower instincts by way of personal passages, under the pretext of principle or Bible truths, so commonly resorted to in our day. His efforts are on the higher level and if pursued will be effective in obtaining permanent spiritual results Although their is a disposition to sat- isfy the natural inclination by pander- ing to the sensational and indulging in personalities, the minister who shuns the vice and confines himself simply to the Gospel, will be the means of ac- complishing the greatest good and in the end attain the high Christian standard.
